This function was part of the celebrations for the 160th anniversary of Nikola Tesla’s birthday. All over the world people of all ages, cultures and nationalities are recognizing Nikola Tesla’s contribution to modern society and their own lives. It is great to see such interest in Tesla’s legacy and recognition that Tesla certainly well deserves.

Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла; 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian American inventor and scientist, best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Without Nikola Tesla, many of the conveniences of modern life wouldn’t be possible. Tesla had over 300 patents worldwide, and his inventions helped pave the way for alternating current (AC), electric motors, radios, fluorescent lights, lasers, and remote control, among many other things.

Nikola Tesla is one of the giants of human intellect and the man whose research marked the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

There has been resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s.
